About this vehicle
The Department of Transportation established this Master IDIQ for communication, navigation, surveillance, and traffic management systems on July 21, 2008, with a shared ceiling of $29 million and a final ordering deadline of November 30, 2014. Ordering has been closed for over eleven years; the vehicle is no longer active.
The vehicle sustained modest activity during its open period, with 17 task orders awarded between December 2008 and May 2013. The ordering window peaked in 2010 with seven orders, then declined to two orders each in 2011 and 2013. The combined potential value across all task orders reached $217.3 million, against which $44.7 million (21% of combined potential) was obligated at closeout. The successor vehicle, Traffic Management Infrastructure Systems, was awarded in December 2011 while this contract remained open, indicating a planned transition.
The Boeing Company dominated the prime contractor base, capturing five orders worth $97.9 million in combined potential value. Science Applications International Corporation held one order valued at $49.9 million. Leidos, Inc., Mosaic ATM, Inc., and Safety Net Solutions, Inc. filled out the remaining awards. All 17 task orders funded the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation; no other federal agencies used the vehicle.
Work ranged across NextGen technology support, traffic management systems, surface management system technical support, time-based flow management, future air navigation systems (FANS), STARS installations, and telecommunications reference data maintenance. Most orders employed cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. Two mega-orders placed in December 2008 — each with a $40 million ceiling — anchored the early vehicle activity, though only a fraction of those ceilings were obligated.
Set-aside activity was sparse: 11 orders (65%) carried no set-aside, while six orders (35%) were designated small business. Small business orders ranged from roughly $207,000 to $9.5 million in ceiling value. Typical unrestricted task orders fell in the $1 million to $5 million range, with several exceptions reaching $40 million to $50 million ceilings.
